Trailer for Woochi, which screened at Fantastic Fest 2010.
The story unfolds in the Korean Joseon era where we find Woochi, a cocky but undisciplined wizard who stops at nothing to become a powerful sorcerer. He spends his time roaming with his dog/man servant looking for a magical mirror and bronze dagger and generally wreaking havoc with his magical skills. His master tries to tell him of the error of his ways, but Woochi has none of it.
When his master is murdered by a powerful goblin who is after a magical flute that will set all goblins free, Woochi’s world collapses around him. He is framed for the murder and three Taoists gods magically seal Woochi in a painting.
Fast-forward to modern times as the goblins begin rampaging through Seoul. The gods have nowhere else to turn and release Woochi so he can stop the goblins from achieving their heinous goal.
